Long live the general

In the next few days, Gao Gongzhi really co-signed many doctors to write a letter to the emperor, and he should not reverse Huo Fengnian's case due to emotion and reason.The matter of Huo Fengnian was the final conclusion of Emperor Yueyun's coffin. According to the law of etiquette, the emperor should set an example even if the son does not speak of his father's faults.Logically speaking, the criminal theory was originally decided by the Ting Wei Department. If the Ting Wei Department made a mistake in the judgment, everyone in the world would doubt the accuracy of the national law.

These words not only reached the ears of the emperor, but also the ears of scholars all over the world. They wrote articles criticizing the emperor's behavior, and then circulated and communicated with each other. Unfilial.After scolding for a long time, those common people seem to have difficulty distinguishing right from wrong.

Zhou Zhenyan stayed in Ziwei Palace, and could hear the scolding outside the palace wall.

It was under such circumstances that Tao Jiamu came to Chang'an City. He learned of the recent events on the way, and went to Ziwei Palace to meet the emperor anxiously.

He originally thought that the emperor must be in a bad mood recently, but Zhou Zhenyan seemed quite calm, first asked him some questions about state affairs, and Tao Jiamu responded one by one in an orderly manner.Compared with Gongsun Yang, his attitude towards political affairs is much milder.

Tao Jiamu is a child raised by a typical farming and studying family, and he is a typical Confucian school theorist, but he has some differences from other Confucian disciples. Jurisprudence concept.For example, because he was able to serve as an official, he had clear rewards and punishments, but at the same time he attached great importance to the education of benevolence and morality to the people, rather than simply using strict laws and torture to make the people feel afraid.

Zhou Zhen asked too many questions, and Tao Jiamu couldn't help but wanted to express his point of view.He could see that the emperor really wanted to know him, what did he want to gain from this conversation?

Who doesn't have the desire to develop a grand plan in their hearts, and the best way is to let the king of a country agree with your ideas. This is a rare opportunity.

Huo Yi didn't know that Tao Jiamu would go to Xihebian County at the beginning, but he asked for it.Based on his experience as a Langguan next to Emperor Yueyun, he is usually a high-ranking official when he is sent out.He went to Xihebian County to be Huo Yi's subordinate, which could almost be called relegation.

But Tao Jiamu just saw that Huo Yi couldn't stand it alone. At that time, Huo Yi had no relatives and his mental state was not good, so he went to help.As for the future? I haven't thought much about it for the time being.

Now that Huo Yi has returned to Chang'an, Tao Jiamu is naturally willing to come back to realize his ambition.

He also wants to use what he has learned to do something!

The two chatted for a while. Zhou Zhenyan actually had some prejudices against Confucianism before. Most of these prejudices came from the officials in the imperial court and the scholars who tied their interests with the family.However, some of Tao Jiamu's views made him feel fresh and new. It sounded like a legalist in Confucianism, but the content was more gentle and easy to accept.

Zhou Zhenyan thought for a while and asked him, "Do you think I did the right thing in the case of General Huo?"

Tao Jiamu thought, if you insist on overturning the verdict after being scolded like this by the world, you definitely don't want to hear me scold you again.

"I believe that what His Majesty has done is truly responsible for the national law." Tao Jiamu said slowly: "First of all, what we have to consider is, what is the national law?"

"National law should make the people feel relatively fair, and an institution like the Ting Wei Department should let the people know the truth, understand how the national law works in their hands, and maintain relative fairness. Only the truth can bring national law Majesty, daring to reverse the case instead of blindly covering it up, on the contrary, it shows the pursuit of truth and fairness in the national law."

"From the perspective of the late emperor, the late emperor is your majesty's father. Although the son never speaks of his father's faults, isn't it a more essential form of filial piety for a son to make up for his father's mistakes?"

Seeing the emperor's suddenly enlightened expression, Tao Jiamu continued: "Moreover, people's pursuit of truth and truth should not be hindered by the relationship between father and son, teacher and student. The so-called carrying on the past and opening up the future, we must not only inherit the ancestors, but also learn the truth." Possess new thinking. For example, the failure of the Xia Dynasty allowed us to learn a lesson from it, and led Dai Yue to a different path. If we want to blindly follow the ancient teachings, wouldn’t we be like the Xia Dynasty?”

Zhou Zhenzhen was amazed, this person is too good? Say it!Treating the body in the same way as others, but it has a higher purpose, which is much better than those doctors and scholars who copied the same articles from ancient books over and over again.

"In this case, then you can write an article." Zhou Zhenyan said happily.

Tao Jiamu: The emperor employs people like this? Don't you pay attention?

It was the first time he came into contact with Zhou Zhenyan's style of work. Huo Yi said that the way the emperor handles affairs and talents is more arbitrary than he imagined.

Zhou Zhenzhen immediately asked Tao Jiamu to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Tao Jiamu had no choice but to sit there on his knees and start writing an article, mainly to refute the current mainstream voice.You only need to write down your previous views, and then quote the classics like other Confucian scholars. If Tao Jiamu has a good pen, he will write an article soon.

Zhou Zhenyan reviewed it on the spot, and he had a higher evaluation of Tao Jiamu in his heart.Tao Jiamu is familiar with clerical affairs because he has worked in Xihebian County for a long time, and he can use Confucianism to embellish grammar and connect with reality to make his views more convincing. Most importantly, he writes articles that are easy to understand. Even illiterate people can easily understand.Unlike some scholars, who will deliberately write the text in a sloppy and extremely obscure manner, raising the threshold for reading, and thus firmly holding the right to speak and explain in their own hands.

Zhou Zhenyan thought it was very suitable.

He wants this article, the most important thing is to show it to the world. Anyway, no matter what he does, the group of scholars will object to it-this seems to show their nobility.

Tao Jiamu's article is called "On the Book of Legal Principles". What is the first thing to talk about in the whole article? It is the law, why is it there? "On Dharma Principles" soon spread to every corner of Dai Viet, and people passed it on word of mouth and exchanged their thoughts.Although the article itself did not mention the case of overturning the verdict this time, once everyone thought about it, they agreed with His Majesty's way of overturning the verdict.And what about overturning the case? It has nothing to do with them themselves, and what? Many people remember the battles fought by General Huo Fengnian.

Although more than ten years have passed and the previous court has been downplaying the traces of Huo Fengnian's existence, some people still remember it.

Public opinion is changing rapidly.

"These foolish people are plowing between the ridges of the fields day and night, and they don't even have a village? Are they worthy of discussing world affairs?!" Gao Gongzhi was extremely angry in the mansion. In his opinion, this article has no aesthetic feeling and is full of vernacular, how can it compare with their carefully carved articles.

The colleague next to him asked, "What should we do now?"

Gao Gongzhi said: "Is it just a work of obsession? Forget it, what can an article cause? Storms, let's continue writing!"

At this moment, the door of Gao's mansion was opened, and a group of northern soldiers in strong and fierce clothes stepped in, and Zhi Jinwu, the leader, said: "Doctor Gao, please come with us."

Gao Gongzhi got up in astonishment: "What do you want to do?!"

"This is His Majesty's intention." Zhi Jinwu said.

The dispute here has nothing to do with Tao Jiamu, the emperor called him to work on the first day he came back to Chang'an City, after that, he was ignored for the time being, and he was only allowed to wait at the Golden Horse Gate.

Tao Jiamu went to look for Huo Yi, but was in vain two days ago, because Huo Yi had been training in the barracks.Da Viet still needs more cavalry, and cavalry training is a matter that requires a lot of time and money, and Huo Yi can't spare it.It wasn't until Tao Jiamu specially sent a greeting card to Huo Yi that Huo Yi knew that Tao Jiamu was back, and sent him an invitation to Huo Yi's residence.

Tao Jiamu was wearing a green robe that day, and it was raining on the way to Huo's mansion. He bought an umbrella by the side of the road and walked towards Huo's mansion with it.The guard outside let Tao Jiamu in after reading the invitation.

Because of recent events, too many people came to visit Huo Yi, and even the guards at the gate were much more cautious.

The Huo Mansion was still as empty as ever, the rain was pattering on the red bricks and green tiles, and a layer of water had accumulated on the ground, bringing a bit of coolness to this August.Tao Jiamu wandered around the yard by himself, and he didn't see a few attendants, let alone the doormen.

Generally, people who sit in this position always need some followers to come up with ideas.

He walked through the corridor and heard Huo Yi's voice through the sound of rain. Huo Yi seemed to be talking to someone else. Tao Jiamu poked his head out and took a look. Two people were sitting lazily under the eaves, one of them was Huo Yi, the other One is a middle-aged man who looks a little old and has a vicissitudes of life.

"Before going to Longfangbian County, I worked in Beishuobian County for three years, and I also went to Jiuyuan County, Handan County, Hexi County... By the way, I also went to the southwest to suppress bandits. The people there Very fierce, good at fighting with weapons, have you never been to the south?" It was Li Yi who spoke.

Huo Yi shook his head: "I haven't been there."

"General Huo has been there, and there are a lot of bugs, big and pervasive." Li Yi said a few words, and suddenly fell silent.

Huo Yi took a sip of tea slowly.

Li Yi said: "Your Majesty acts swiftly and resolutely, and will soon overturn the case. It's all because of your victory. General Huo Quan knows, and will be happy for you."

Regardless of seniority or experience, Li Yi is Huo Yi's predecessor.

Huo Yi said thank you softly.

Li Yi said a few more words, then turned and left, he came here to pay homage to General Huo Da.

Huo Yi saw him off for a while, and when he came back, he found Tao Jiamu sitting where Li Yi had just been, looking at him with his legs crossed and a half-smile.

"General Huo is well-developed." Tao Jiamu put the greeting card on the table and said, "Now I need this thing to see you."

"How is it? Is there a show?" Huo Yi couldn't help laughing, and quickly walked over and bent over to hug him: "You're finally here!"

Tao Jiamu patted his shoulder, feeling the protruding shoulder blades and the slightly cool cloth under his hands, wondering why Huo Yi lost weight in Chang'an, he said, "I'm here!"
